Why do we have Pubic Hair?

Pubic hair are body’s first defensive line against infections. They have a purpose to protect against friction that may cause skin abrasions, injury, protection from bacteria and unwanted pathogens.

Myth: Hair grows back longer or thicker after shaving!

This is purely a myth and has so scientific backing. The hair on any body part doesn’t grow back thicker, the diameter of hair remains the same. They look coarse because soft tip gets blunted by shaving.

Myth: Shaving needs to be done everyday down there!

Some women think shaving daily is required to keep the area hair free and make the bikini line used to shaving. Rather it causes more irritation and razor bumps. Shaving needs to be done only when few millimeters of hair are visible.

6 Steps for Effective Bikini Line Hair Removal

Before shaving, few steps called Pre-Shave Preparation Steps should be followed for effective hair removal and to avoid irritation and bumps.

  1. Trim the hair before shaving: Trimming long hair with a small scissor before hair removal process results in better shaving and effective in preventing bumps and burns.
  2. Gently scrub or exfoliate: To lift the ingrown hair from beneath the skin surface for effective hair removal, it’s recommended to gently exfoliate or scrub the area before shaving.
  3. Shaving: Using a razor for shaving around genitals might cause itching because the hair grow back in just few days; and so to stay clean, one needs to shave every few days. It’s recommended to shave during shower so that the coarse thick hair become soft with hot water and don’t cause red bumps or razor burn. One must use a sharp razor and a good shaving gel or foam.

Waxing has it’s own pros and cons, major being the incapability to do it yourself at home – anytime.; and not everyone prefers to undergo pain in that area.

Hair Removal Creams are easy and effective option for removing pubic hair, which can be done anytime anywhere and with minimum basic requirements. However, not every depilatory (hair removal) cream are safe to use around sensitive area of genitals, and must be tested on skin before applying to vulva.

Hair Removal Creams specifically formulated for sensitive areas like bikini area should only be used. Everteen Bikini Line Hair Removal Creme is made of 100% natural chamomile extract and neither contains any harsh smell nor causes itching or skin darkening.

CHOOSE WISELY!!

4. Rinse: After cleaning the creme and hair of bikini area with soft cloth, rinse thoroughly with cold water without harshly rubbing the skin.
